Evolution of flat-panel displays

Japanese LCD Industry: Competing through Knowledge Management

“…According to market estimates LCD is likely to remain as the main display for the laptop segment. CRT is under pressure from thin displays for use in PCs (Tannas 1994). Recently, large global players like Matsushita and Sharp have been pushing technology in the direction of thin and flat non CRT based displays.…”

Large Errors from Assuming Equivalent DC and High-Frequency Electrical Characteristics in Metal–Multiple-Insulator–Metal Diodes

“…Metal–insulator–metal (MIM) tunnel diodes play an important role in many applications, such as energy harvesting, , infrared detection, − single-electron transistors, , resistive random access memory, , and matrix addressed displays . For energy harvesting applications where MIM diodes operate as rectifiers, the diode capacitance ( C ) and resistance ( R ) determine the maximum operation frequency f c = 1/(2π RC ).…”

TFT-LCD panel Blob-Mura inspection using the correlation of wavelet coefficients

“…Some of those may occur when unexpected foreign materials are inserted into layers in the display panel. Non-uniform liquid crystal area, air insertion, partial press by external forces, and others may also cause the blob-Mura defects [1,2][4]. Fig.…”

“…So conventional display units, such as CRTs, have been substituted for flat panel display devices. High production yield and speed are required to decrease production costs in LCD manufacturing company [1,2]. But currently, most of the final inspections of the LCD panels have been done by the human observer.…”
